The Memphis appeal. [volume] (Memphis, Tenn.) 1886-1890, 1887-03-17

dull and weak at 4s3t for sixty day
bills and 4s6t for demand.
Bonds = Government and Slate
bonds were dull and steady.
Stocks-The prevailing feature in
the stock m rket today wss its dull
ness, the great majority OF operators
being kept out by the fesr Of tight
money, which still hangs over the
market. The fluctuations, except in
one OF two casee, were COT fned in q
very narrow range and the trading
was mostly OF decidedly professional
character. There was arenewal OF the
purchasing for foreign account, this
morning, however, which gave an ap-
pearance Of strength to the opening.
Upon the cessation of this demand,
however, the market dropped back
into midsummer dullness aud the
transactions became almost totally de-
vo,d of feature. The general list
maintained it's dead level, while
Hooking Valley sogged of sgsin
with Morris and Essex, while Fort
Worth and Denver advanced slightly.
The fresh supply Of security bills
caused a further reduction Of sterling
exchange rates, and late in the day an
improved feeling became manifested
in the general market and the entire
list moved up toward the close under
this stimulus. The opening was
strong, first prices showing advances
over Lest evenings final figures OF
from ! to per cent, Missouri Pac fic
being an exception, with a loss OF !
per cent. Prices cary showed do
Ginning tendency on moderate bust
ness only, which loon dwindled away,
and by noon the market was very
dull, at fractional CONCESSIONS from
first prices. After that time, however,
more animation was dep aged and
the coal etocks and Western Union
became the leaders. Another period
of weakness followed, but the last hour
saw the most decided strength Of the
day and the close was dull, but
firm, generally shade better than the
opening figures. A majority OF the
active litt are higher this evening, but
final changes are generally for small
fractions only, the only important ones
being gains Of in Morris and ERex,
1t in Denver preferred i in Jersey Gem
trail and l in Fort Worth ard Denver.
Railroad bonds showed little more
animation. Sales today were 81 ,069,-
900, and closing prices showed ad-
vaBces in most cases. ST. Louis, jack
souville and Chicago firstJ gained 2 at
l20; jersey Central unssssnted con-
soils, 81 at ITO; Utah Southern extern
sion 7s, at SO; Toledo and Ohio
Central firsts, 2 at 81.
